they will use the teamwork idea to make up for the size differential but I hope springer is the v-22 osprey or the jumbo carrier jet is omega supreme..but im def. just hoping prob not gunna happen...maybe springer will..hopefuly

With the exception of higher-ups like Starscream and Megatron, the Autobots seem to be able to hold their own well enough, though it usually takes a team-effort to bring just one down "quickly". (though remember, not all Decepticons are big, and not all Autobots are small)

Decepticons are of course larger than autobots, and better skills in battles. Thats because Decepticon are cybertronian soldiers and Autobots are cybertronian citizens. Autobots has no idea about how to fight.

If the currently unnamed Autobot transport plane toy is in the movie as a character he's going to be impressively proportioned -- especially if the the mini Optimus Prime figure packaged with him is in scale! In fact, he'd be the largest movie robot yet (correct me if I'm wrong, please). Also, if we have Springer as an Osprey, he'll be around the same size as Blackout in TF1. As has been mentioned above, the Autobots combining their firepower seemed to serve them pretty well in the Mission City battle. Except against Starscream and Megatron. Jolt will be around Bumblebee's height, the Twins will be about the same as Jazz, and Jetfire will be impressive -- though how much ass he'll be kicking as an older 'bot is debateable.

Well, there is that item that's popped up from time to time that Michael Bay wanted an aircraft carrier character; maybe that could be an Autobot (even though it's a military vessel, and military/authority vehicles were Decepticons in the first film) like Metroplex if it ever makes it into a film.

I wouldn't mind a huge Metroplex or Omega Supreme to take on Devastator, or even Superion if the Autobots ever get a combiner. If the creative team on the films wants to stick to the 'heroes can/should be smaller than/outgunned by the villains, then beat them on intelligence, guile and will' schtik, then this may never change. Who knows though. Maybe the Autobots will get a huge 'bot of their own to fight Devastator or the Fallen or something that's somehow yet to be revealed.

Megatron, Starscream, the Fallen and Devastator are obviously very large

I agree. Then, thinking about it, who else is really large? (Counting Demolishor as a part of Devys.) Sideways looks to be Barricade height, who was only slightly taller than Bumblebee. The pretender is obviously small, and Soundwave, if his deluxe figure is in decent scale, looks small. Scorponok is smaller than all of the Autobots, as is Ravage and the dreadlock bot. So.. We have some smaller decepticons.

This is something that has tiked me off quite alot and i've commented on it several times. I suppose autobots are much more skillful, acrobatic and creative fighters. The idea seems to be that cons can blow the hell out of the bots quite easily, but only if they can hit them.

One thing i noticed in the first film, i dont know if it was to showcase prime or just error, but you'll notice several shots Prime is towering over ironhide and ratchet. Like ironhide is suppose to be 26ft to primes 32 ft, but some shots made him look like 20ft...and all it does is make the other bots look weaker.

Jetfire will likely be a fair bit larger then prime. If the twins combine they will likely be around the size of ratchet. Im hoping springer will be in it, he'll likely be bigger then prime as well.

Decepticons are of course larger than autobots, and better skills in battles. Thats because Decepticon are cybertronian soldiers and Autobots are cybertronian citizens. Autobots has no idea about how to fight.

In terms of skill, i think the movies will be a little opposite. Cons big and bold with firepower. Bots skillful and flashy.

I like bigger Decepticons. It emphasises that they are war machines, and it emphasises that the Autobots have to work to defeat them, using all their skill, teamwork and courage. To be honest, I'd rather see Decepticons brought down in epic fashion, than perfectly matched one on one fights any day of the week.

Pretty much agree with this, as long as the Autobots don't look tooooo weak. Common complaint - I hate how wimpy they made Prime in the final battle of movie 1.
